Started potting up Nepenthes species obtained from Borneo as well as some that are from TC. Also started setting TC Venus Flytrap cultivars into plugs, plus a new crop of passion flowers. All told close to 600 plants to be potted up in the next couple of weeks.

These things have been planted either weeks ago or yesterday but haven't been able to be on as much with weather warming up!
Planted in dirt: various tomatoes, globe artichoke, sugar loaf pineapple, a grocery store pineapple top is growing for me for the first time... yeeaaay!! Brocolli, cauliflower, beets, radishes, butter lettuce, iceberg lettuce, carrots, bell pepper, anaheim pepper and armenian cucumbers which I guess are really in the melon family but it's the only cucumber I like.

Aquaponics: butter lettuce, radishes, onions, bell pepper, tomato, green been, cucumber, globe artichoke, broccoli, strawberries and one small juniper.

Have afew cuttings of Redbud, unknown apple and unknown peach tree in spaghum moss/perlite mix and put the other in the aquaponics bed. Hoping for the best on those. I've never done this before.

Deb

Keep us posted on that Nepenthes species ... could it possibly be developed into a houseplant?

I just put a Nepenthus in my gallery. It's not my plant, I can't grow them. Many years ago I grew two from a spring to fall and when the temperature went to 40 they died. When they were living they looked pretty good. But when I took them apart they had very few roots. Maybe with good roots they might have gotten the cool weather.

I doubt it. They require high quality water; distilled, RO, or rain and I don't see the average hobbyist meeting those needs. Plus the highland group likes high humidty and in low humidty surroundings pitchers are often not produced. But I have seen dedicated individuals grow them as housplants and do very well. They will grow very well outside in 60% shade as long as they are not allowed to get below 50F, and into the 40's once acclimated.

This batch that was potted up consist of; N. sibuyanensis, bellii, talagensis, raffelsiana. lowii, epiphinata, and rajah - some of the easier to grow species.

Today I visited Paul Fisher in El Cajon, whom some of you know as the V.P. of the CRFG. I brought him some extra pitaya cuttings and he gave me a fruit from the Avocado he has developed (patent pending). Paul operates a nursery from his home with some of the best (and unusual) fruit varieties that will produce in southern CA. You can reach him at 619-322-4141.

Here is a picture of 2/3 of the fruit plus seed. The seed weighed in at 0.1 pounds, and the fruit + skin (w/o seed) weighed 0.75 pounds. The fruit is of excellent quality. If the seed produces anything decent, I think I'll call it Paul-son.
